At the end of last month, Japanese developer Delta Arts closed its doors. The studio’s website was just recently updated with a notice about the situation, and is devoid of any other content.

Delta Arts was tied to Nintendo games having worked on some of the recent entries in the Medabots series. They jumped into the series starting with the DS generation.

Super Meat Boy was confirmed for a May 12 release on the European Wii U eShop a few days ago. An announcement sent out today reveals that the game will also be out in North America on the same day.

Super Meat Boy will cost $14 / £13 / €14 at launch, which is a 20 percent discount. It’s seeing a 20 percent discount until May 26.

Along with Super Meat Boy’s Wii U release date news, the announcement contained an interesting section which seems to tease a 3DS version. Here’s that relevant part of the press release:

Super Meat Boy launched in 2010 on Xbox 360 and PC, and was immediately labeled as a definitive work in the sub-genre of brutally difficult platformers. Since then, gamers all over the world have been waiting to play it on other platforms. It was finally released on PS4 and Vita last year and with the Wii U version arriving this month, only the 3DS will be missing (but maybe not for too long ;)) Gotta catch them all!

If you’ve played a Kirby game before, you might be aware that the developers sneak in a special room for the developer – HAL Laboratory. Kirby: Planet Robobot is no different, and also features a similar area. You can see what it looks like in the video below. It’s nothing too special, but it’s a nice little nod to HAL!
